About Kellenberg Memorial
Kellenberg Memorial High School is a private, independent Catholic school established in 1987. It is located near the middle of Nassau County, Long Island, on a campus of twenty-one acres. Kellenberg Memorial is owned and operated by the brothers and priests of the Marianist Community. The curriculum is exclusively college preparatory. Three academic programs prepare students for college studies. Financial constraints do not permit any special academic programs or modifications of the required curriculum. Admission is based on the Catholic High School Entrance Exam.
Phenomenal school, outstanding leadership, devoted teachers who love their jobs, dedicated coaches who care about their players and success, where faith is inspired, nurtured, celebrated and academic excellence is the assumption. Friendships that will last a lifetime. Could not possibly have dreamed of a better 4 years for my daughter.
I am a proud Kellenberg Memorial graduate. I have completed my education doctorate degree...Thank you Kellenberg for preparing me for the educational world.
The best decision we have made was sending our daughter to Kellenberg Memorial High School. Both my husband and I attended parochial school, but our experience can't be compared to what our daughter has experienced. During the last three years, I have witnessed her spiritual growth; her sincere desire to help those less fortunate; to her academic focus. In a few months, our son will be joining the Kellenberg family, and we're confident he will be just as successful.
My son attended The Latin School for the past 3 years...it has taught him so much and has offered so many activities which have made such a huge impact on his intellectual skills. Such a wonderful experience!
Unbelievable place, Excellent education, it truly is the best place in the world. My son is loving every minute of his experiences there. It's more than a school, it's a home.
An incredible school, that our two sons thrived at, so differently, in academics, spirituality, sports, and sense of self, independence.. As a friend once said, Kellenberg is like having an extra parent in the family.. In a good way. During the most turbulent years of development, Kellenberg teachers are there, every day, for the students.
Three of my sons and my grandchild attended Kellenberg and I could not be more pleased with the education they got. They are all excellent writers and that has helped them excel in what they chosen to do. I love to still be part of the Kellenberg Memorial HS as part of KAPA, the school has been part of my family for the past twenty one years. I would recommend Kellenberg to any parent.
Great school, great staff & atmosphere. Best decision to send my daughter here. She’s thriving academically, socially, & spiritually.
The kids are always so happy! They are always going from one club to the next activity and it’s hard to get them to leave school. They get a strenuous and rigorous, classic education that is tailored to the needs of students.
This is the most wonderful school you can imagine. Great atmosphere and faculty who really care. I have a senior and he actually loves going to school every day. Thank you Kellenberg for all you do.
